Scallop shell necklace / concha de vieira ~ 18ct gold
Product Details

A truly striking piece of gold jewellery with meaning

This is something very special indeed: This exquisite, solid, 18ct gold scallop shell / concha de vieira necklace would make a truly unforgettable gift. It has been lovingly hand-crafted by goldsmiths in Galicia, northwest Spain. The shell is the symbol of the Camino de Santiago - the 1,000-year-old pilgrimage to the shrine of St. James in the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela, also known as the Way of St. James (El Camino de Santiago - in Spanish), and so the necklace has considerable significance and gravitas.

"El Camino" criss-crosses Western Europe, arriving at Santiago de Compostela in Northern Spain on the Atlantic coast. Some 200,000 people travel the Camino each year from all over the world: Some people walk, others travel by bike. Many travellers choose to do the Camino for personal, rather than any spiritual or religious reasons - taking time out from their busy/modern lives and perhaps finding inspiration along the way, whilst reflecting on their life in a supportive environment. Many carry with them a Scallop Shell symbol as depicted here. Everyone experiences the journey in a different way.

Wish a special friend or loved-one well as they travel through life and face its challenges by sending this beautiful piece of jewellery. It is an exceptional gift with meaning to show someone how much you really care.
